love in Excel

spreadsheet poetry
once again except
instead of words
as numbers, words
as themselves to ex-
plain and observe the
moment to moment reality
of existence and the resist
-ance of nuances best left
undisturbed and forgotten

new worksheet with row A
and column F merged into
one, a single cell of
complex thought, the
total of the other
columns don't
matter any
-more than
others or
less than
some others
then the smother
begins and the
numbers appear
to be misaligned
again.

\"it appears you're
making a list. would
you like some help?\"

no. no i wouldn't. i
can figure it out
on my own, adding
the totals and
styling the individual
cells with colors and
fonts unlike the others,
expressing vowels with
color as others have
tried before but this
time categorizing them
and then exporting to a
tab delimited file or
marked up with HTML

help, i've forgotten
the extension to
use and i'm not
sure if the
'save as...'
overwrote the
original.

the blue screen of
windows death took
the experiment from
me and now it's just
Excel again, with me
repelled by the sense
of number crunching that
is done or needs to be done
on a daily basis.

mismatched columns and
rows and now it's time
to go.
